Park Wall at Thornhope Sikes

The Park Wall is part of the impressive perimeter wall, 15 Km long (now partly replaced by a fence) which encircles Wolsingham Park Moor. The Moor (this side of the wall in this photo) was for many centuries an extra-parochial territory which formed part of the hunting grounds of the Prince-Bishops of Durham. The valley of the Millbull Sike runs down to Weardale in the distance.
